Somewhere

A life is ending 
A child is crying 
A mother is mourning 
One's heart is breaking

Mothers are ever present at the site of tragedy and grief, and this poem set them as the lonely figure they are, carrying our decomposition in themselves behind screens of tears. I always pray for mothers. Love
